Is there a copyright protection in terms of consuming a copyright-protected image? I thought it was only for the purpose of displaying that image. If you're reading the file and reading the data, but not displaying it, is that also protected?
- teddyh 4y agoCopyright, as the name implies, is mostly for restricting copying (as in printing copies of a book), but also restricts distribution, adaptation, display, and public performance of that work. In the case of AI, it’s the “adaptation” part which is up for debate. If a person uses an image as part of a training set for an AI image generator, and then uses said AI to generate new images, are those images “adaptations” of the images in the training set? I would suggest that the answer is yes, but current behavior by AI vendors are not in concordance with that view.
